The membership represents the most outstanding leaders in all phases of school life, from the editor and business manager of the Southerner to the president and vice-president of the senior class. In fact. I). I). D. also claims leaders in both forensics and music. Besides having personality and good scholarship, a student must show ability in one or more of the three D's. To prove that this club is an asset to South, all that one has to do is to review its record this year: It has supplied South with three debating teams. The State Team brought the district championship to South this year. For the Follies, it contributed a minstrel act: for the pcP meetings, it has furnished the cheer leaders; for the advertising programs in the assembly and class-rooms, it has supplied the speakers. Membership has to be limited in order to do effective work so that there is always a long waiting list. A freshman has the same opportunity as a senior to become a member of this club if his ability is recognized by the club officers. Page Nineteen

On a Thursday evening, January 14, 1915, the club was first organized by a group of twenty-six boys and girls. Since that time, Inkpah has contrived to live up to its name. Limiting its membership to thirty-five students chosen from juniors and seniors who are leaders in literature, scholarship, public speaking, drama and music, it has successfully maintained its high literary standard. The ambition of the club has always been to have well-constructed programs which carry out a central theme. Original selections form the main features of the programs. Combined with these are musical numbers, recitations, talks, plays, debates, parliamentary drill, impersonations of famous people, and Inkpah Extra, the club newspaper. The Good English cup which Inkpah and the Meridian Literary Society annually present to the student who has best merited its award in literary effort was given this year to Ruby Eggleston. ’age Twenty-One
